Yeah, ValueJet flight 592 - I'd forgotten about the "inaccurate manifest" issue <blush>

"fstop808, I strongly encourage you to read the new rules again. Specifically, scroll to the bottom of the FAA page I link to in my blog post at TechThoughts.org, and read the last row of data several times:


"Up to 2 Lithium-Ion Batteries, Spare or Installed

(between 8 and 25 grams aggregate lithium equivalent content)"


You ARE limied to two professional production batteries not attached to a camcorder.
"

I stand behind what I said, IEBA1.

IF your batteries exceed 100 Wh (8 g Li equivalent) then you ARE limited to two. If not, then you can bring as many as you want. Apparently, your batteries exceed 100 Wh. OK, then you are screwed.
